Troup Selected to Inaugural Above the Rim Summit

COLUMBIA, Mo. – The University of Missouri women’s basketball team’s Haley Troup has been selected to participate in the inaugural NCAA Above the Rim Summit as announced by the organization on Thursday.

The immersive leadership program will take place during Final Four Weekend beginning Friday in Dallas, Texas.

The goal of the Above the Rim Summit is to provide education and career development support to women’s basketball student-athletes. The participants will be introduced to numerous subject matter experts who will share their expertise on career navigation. They will also be immersed in personal and professional development activities designed to provide an introspective picture of who they are, and how they work best with others.

Troup and 13 other selected student-athletes will engage in brand building, media training, and financial literacy, and they will also have an opportunity to gain more knowledge about the world of professional basketball from industry professionals and former players.

“I am honored to represent Missouri and the Southeastern Conference at the Above the Rim Summit,” Troup said. “I look forward to furthering my professional development while learning from industry experts and the athletes who came before me.”

A five-year member of the SEC’s academic honor roll, the Missouri graduate served on the 2022-23 SEC Leadership Council and was named to the 2021-22 SEC Community Service Team.

Troup is one of three members from the conference set to be in attendance joining Georgia’s Diamond Battles and Tennessee’s Jordan Walker.
